''The Power''
"A Poem of Quiet Strength and Unseen Courage''
By Usman Ali Published 8 months ago • 1 min read
- It lies not in thunder, nor flame in the sky,
- But quiet and hidden, where soft spirits lie.
- A whisper, a heartbeat, a hand gently raised—
- The power that kindles, the world left amazed.
- Not fists made of iron, nor crowns forged of gold,
- But courage in silence, in stories untold.
- The strength to keep going when all light has fled,
- To dream while the shadows still circle your bed.
- It lives in the mother who works through her pain,
- In tears of the fallen who rise up again.
- In kindness that ripples through centuries past,
- A force not of moments, but one meant to last.
- So fear not the stillness, the calm, or the small—
- The power is waiting in each of us all.
- Not granted or taken, but chosen to share—
- A truth in the soul that no tyrant can snare.
